You Can Help Us Help Them!

One of the most heart-wrenching aspects of animal rescue is witnessing animals in desperate need of medical attention.  For homeless animals, it can truly become a life-or-death situation.  Depending on the illness, vet bills can become overwhelming.  Being a non-profit rescue, FOPCP does not make any profit  on any animal we adopt.  In most cases, we spend hundreds of dollars on vetting animals to ensure that they leave our care in tip-top shape.   We keep our adoption fees low, and depend on fundraisers, donations, and community support for to help pay for vetting.

Right now, there are animals in desperate need of medical attention in Powell County, and we are asking for your support.  You can help by donating through our PayPal account by clicking on the donate button below.



Bacall is a very sweet-natured beagle mix.  She has a very serious eye injury, and it is very urgent that she receives vetting soon.   Bacall is going to make someone a wonderful family pet, and she deserves a chance to make it happen.        


Shay is a Shepherd/Retriever mix.   He is very active, and loves to explore.   But he was diagnosed with heartworm.   A heartworm is a parasite that when left untreated will eventually kill its canine host.   Shay is in foster care right now, and is undergoing treatments to cure him of heartworm.   These treatments are very expensive.   
We are also nursing a few pups back to health after they were diagnosed with Parvo.   For puppies, Parvo is deadly.   And treatments for this disease can really add up.   We're doing everything we can to ensure these pups pull through!
   
These sweet animals are depending on us, and we appreciate any donation.  Click the donate button to access our PayPal site, and any donation you give is tax deductible on both the state and federal level.   We cannot do what we do without support from you!
